The TIA, a coalition comprising several industry associations representing thousands of members companies in travel, tourism and aviation, has written to chair of the committee – Huw Merriman MP – urging him to take Shapps to task on why the government continues to "withhold" the information and data upon which traffic light decisions are made.
"The refusal to publish this is particularly frustrating because all the actual data is in the public domain – case rates, vaccination rates, etc – yet one would think we were asking for state secrets or confidential sources," said TIA chair Danny Callaghan.
